Interesting perspective. It makes sense. I was running CLN via Start 9 and I finally have up after 3 years of trial and error.
Now I'm getting back to running Bitcoin core only and it's taking more than 2 weeks to sync the chain on clearnet... I should have copied and rsync my old one first but I want to FAFO.
Security is only as good as the function. I even had a ghost website via tor and no one ever visited it because it's a lot of work. So there's that perspective too.
Networking is and isn't easy but that's the nature of cultivation. Growing food and constructing space for living is a similar task. Working for the sake of working and dedication to a spiritual cause will enhance the daunting task.
